Phil's Top 14 Comedy Series - Part Six

9. You Rang M'Lord?

Though I was too young to watch some comedy highlights like Hi-De-Hi I did throughly enjoy its cast and writer successors 'Oh! Doctor Beeching', a later 90s sitcom set on a train station, but mainly the one that fell between them 'You Rang M'lord?'

Set in a 1920s home it was a comedy version of 'Upstairs Downstairs' but wasn't afraid to mix in the drama alongside the comedy. With excellent performances from the ensemble cast and a barrel of catchphrases ("I can't remember the last time...") it was a series you could watch for the jokes but also the unravelling plotlines.
